Many of us have a need to correspond or call back on personal or business issues via the Internet. What messenger to install for these purposes?
In my opinion, today most people use Skype or Viber. But in order not to install all the software in a row, let's think about which one to choose.
Skype, perhaps, can be considered the most popular and oldest among messengers installed on PCs and mobile gadgets. It is convenient for this - there are versions of Skype for stationary PCs, laptops, netbooks, tablets and smartphones based on Android, iOS. Well, in order to connect with the right person, you need to know his login in this system, that is, you need the subscriber to be registered in Skype. You can also call a regular phone number via Skype, but such calls will be charged and the amount of the fee will depend on the specific country.
Viber appeared later, but quickly gained popularity. This software also has versions for PC and mobile devices. As a login, a phone number is used here, which must be indicated during registration. And this is where the catch lies - Viber installed on a smartphone will automatically check the list of contacts and notify everyone who also has it installed that you have joined their warm company. And even if you installed Viber on your computer, everyone who has your phone number will know about the installation of this application by you. By the way, calls from Viber to regular phones are also possible, and they will also be paid.
So what conclusion can I draw from the above? Skype and Viber, in general, have similar capabilities - you can make free calls and send messages around the world to users of the messenger that you have chosen, so it is worth stopping at the program that is more common among your colleagues or acquaintances.
